Fair Board

The Menominee County Fair Board is in place to oversee the operations of the Fair. The Board Members attend a monthly meeting, possibly twice a month when the Fair gets close. 

The Board assists in Fair preparations and out at the Fairgrounds (Shakey Lakes Park) during Fair weekend, which is normally the third (3rd) weekend in July. 

The Fair Board consists of 11 Menominee County residents and a County Commissioner. Eleven residents are appointed by the Menominee County Board for a 3-year term. The last member is the Fair Manager, hired by the Fair Board. 

The Menominee County Fair Board meets every month on the 2nd Monday at 6:00 PM at the Annex Building at S904 US HWY 41, Stephenson, MI. 49887 (unless posted otherwise).
